THE WOKING JUNIORS
By Sara Anderson
Today was the last junior session of the year at Woking before the lawns close for winter works. We played a GC doubles tournament in fancy dress to celebrate the end of a very successful first year. There were 6 doubles pairings with guest players Mar7n and Tanya, and the tournament was all‐play‐all, so 5 matches each, first to 4 hoops. At the end of the 5 matches we had 4 teams on 3 wins, and all the teams had won at least one of their matches. So yet again we had a hoop shootout : Winners Mark & Emmeline (each won a Nutcracker ornament filled with sweets) 2nd Tanya & Talitha 3rd Ian & Julie8e 3rd Ana & Hector Best Fancy Dress Fifi ‐ Cruella de Vil (miniature cowboy hat for decora7on). The juniors were all awarded a Cer7ficate of Achievement for their first season of croquet. Well played everyone. Massive thanks to the coaching team who have come every Monday … Colin Groves, Sandra Guildford, Ian & Sara Anderson. With thanks to all the Jjuniors for being such a pleasure to coach….and their parents who have supported them along the way. Looking forward to some winter croquet and the 2026 season.
